What is the best solution to track conversions on local plumbing site (non-mobile)?
-
What is the best solution to track conversions on our local plumbing site? 95% of leads coming from phone calls, the rest – from the contact form we have on every page.
Is there a reliable solutions to track conversion rate for non-mobile local site?
As a side note, we have 6 different phone numbers on our site that users can call in order to reach us.

Hi Dinok - just saw this response or I would have responded sooner.
Check out a solution like callrail.com, mongoosemetrics.com, or callfire.com.
Basically they will adjust the phone number displayed based upon how the user found your website (eg direct visit or organic search by keyword or ppc visit by keyword). They typically can tie into goals in Analytics.
This is the best solution for businesses that rarely get contact form submissions.

@ Beardo:
We have separate landing pages for separate towns that we cover in different counties.
Depending on what county it is, we use a specific phone number that is a local number for that particular county.
@ Kane:
You are correct, changing phone number is not a good option since it would require changing tons of listing across the web in order to get our places page ranking well again, possibly taking it out of serp for many months.
As for you comment regarding javascript solution, did you mean it for one "universal" landing pages that adjust depending on the visitor origin? We use separate unique landing pages for different towns and they have a static phone numbers assigned to them.
I am looking for something that would allow me to optimize my site for higher conversions, preferably tied up to our GA data. Since we have calls for action along with phone number on every single page, a lot of calling people never make it to "Contact us" page. So I cannot use "Visit to Contact us page" goal as a reliable tracking factor.

Changing the phone number across the site is going to cause issues with local citations which are going to be essential for a plumber, so this probably won't be the best solution for call tracking. Typically local business call tracking should be done using javascript-based tracking solutions that dynamically change the phone number based upon the source of the visit.

What I would do is get a phone number from Google Voice and put that on the website. You can then track the logs on that specific phone number. You mention you have six phone numbers, why? Alternatively you can create a landing page with a Google Voice number and use it for your PPC and social media campaigns.

Best to Include Phone Number as CTA Button in Mobile Version of B+B Web Site?
We are attempting to keep the number of CTAs (Calls to Action) on our commercial real estate website to a minimum. Our adjusted design (see attached) has 2 CTAs. One is "Contact Agent" the other is "Schedule a Tour". We are focusing on the listing page, which is the primary product page and critical in terms of CTA. Our mobile version does not show a phone number while the desktop version (also attached) displays a phone number. Should the mobile version also display a button a phone number? Some members of our target audiences, business owners and executives who are often in their 40s and 50s may prefer to call us up rather than communicate by written message. Any suggestions for elegantly displaying the phone number without causing confusion? I have read that the number of CTAs should be limited so I am on the fence as to whether or not to include a phone number Thanks,

What happens when i import analytics conversions into adwords if I already have conversions set up?
Hey everyone, I have a question. We already have conversion tracking set up for our landing pages, however Adwords has the option to import goals from anaytics, one of which is for the landing pages. What will happen if I do? Will it erase all the conversion data I already have? Will it mess things up? Or am I not understanding this correctly... Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Tracking Organic Seach Queries From GA to Companies
Okay, so this is a kinda ridiculous, long shot whim du jour. But it's so intriguing I can't resist. Last week, GA reveals that my client had 6 queries (vs. 0 since the beginning of time) in the format: Large Red Widgets #3 in Obscure Suburb (of my client's head office) Large Red Widgets #3 just happen to be expensive and profitable. My question: is there a snowball's chance in hell of tracking this query any further? I'll take what I can get -- since not many people are interested in red widgets #3 in said obscure suburb. I'd like enough info so a sales rep can follow up. These folks are not shy. Thoughts? Next steps? Idiot proof instructions on where specifically to look in GA?

Is there a way to track who clicks on these links?
At the bottom of my single page posts, I have some related posts. I'd like to set up some sort of GA tracking that lets me know how many people are actually clicking on those links. Anyone know if there is a way to do this? Thanks!

Create better conversion at checkout?
I'm getting extremely poor conversion rates at checkout..would like to hear some ideas to increase checkout. Last month we had 60 users who added to cart, and only 7 who converted. We offer merchant CC, PayPal, and GCO, so I don't believe payment options is the reason for the exit. Any ideas?

Conversion Rate - site feedback
Hi We gave a website a bit of a facelift last nov with the aim of increasing its position within Search Engines and getting it to begin making sales. The site: www.funkyfootstools.com is now moving in the right direction for its keyphrases, footstools and ottomans although it still needs some work. The issue I have is that from the visitors that come to the site, the stats prove they have a look around, they are just not purchasing - I am not sure if this is because of the layout, ie. usability or if there is something else. Any ideas & feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Carl

How important to conversions is proper English on a website?
Many websites - especially those done in foreign countries by non-native English speakers - have many grammatical and idiomatic errors in the English copy. How important is that to conversions (actually convincing the customer to buy, etc.) Is the poor English a turn-off, a cause for distrust or discomfort - or do people not care? I'd be interested to hear people's personal opinions (the more the merrier) and if anyone has a more global perspective backed by research, testing, etc - that would be great, Thanks in advance!
